What A Weekend!

It has been a whirlwind weekend, the kind that you need to take your mind off of the few bad things in life, and make you remember that you have so many things to be truly grateful for. They just make all of the little, meaningless, things dissolve away.

My MIL and FIL came to town on Thursday night and on Friday we went to by BIL and SIL's casa and had drinks, cake and yummy shrimp scampi & celebrated Mr. Cheese's MBA accomplishment. On Saturday night we celebrated at perhaps the most renowned restaurant in Dallas. The food, the service and the ambiance could not have been better. I also enjoyed the after dinner drinks on the patio. The weather was even ideal for such a night. Certainly a memory that I will always remember and treasure.

Today was Baby Cheese's THIRD party, it was very well done (I think) even though things seemed to come together at the last minute, the details were perfect(but I'm not a type A personality, so what do I know?). My Sister In Law ordered and purchased the most beautiful, delicious cake ever & it was a real crowd pleaser, she ordered all the food too, and it turned out to be exceptionally delicious. My friend Jenn hosted the party at her house and it was the perfect setting - she also made her famous spa water :) My Mother in Law helped out too, by helping me hire the band and assisting with the food and drinks. Our niece, Margaret was such a little helper too!

I will not need to buy clothes for Baby Cheese for a long time! I received so much cute stuff and it was great to see all of my friends and family. It's really something how everyone loves buying clothes for a baby girl.

We also squeezed in a portion of our very first Bradley Class before the shower. I can't wait to go to the next classes in the upcoming weeks. It's just awesome and informative, a real learning experience. LOVE IT! The teacher is amazing!

Ok- this is all turning from surreal to very REAL. I keep saying that and it is the truth.
